That movie turned me from being a movie fanatic to hating movies for the next 10 years or so after hearing everyone fawn all over it.
Titanic was so sickeningly manipulative and cliche that it made me groan. Avatar was the same way.

I'll admit I cried the first time I saw it back in '97 when I was 9 or so. I've seen it a few times since, and...meh. I've always had an interest in Titanic (the ship itself) and I thought Cameron did a pretty respectable job in terms of bringing it to life. As far as the story goes, meh, it's just a chick flick in disguise.

thats the funny part for me when i watch movies like titanic or braveheart i will never cry,now give me an emotional anime like angel beats,elfen lied i will cry untill my eyes are dried up(i even cried on fire fist ace his death)

You know me... but I do not know you. You would speak against me... make the others see me as you do... you would have them distrust their comrade of old... their brother... You will not be allowed to spread any of your malicious falsehoods...

yeah every time. not when jack dies as i think that scene is too badly written to make anybody cry, but mainly in two parts - always the very ending when elder kate returns to the ship in death/while dreaming (nobody agrees which one it is), and sometimes earlier when the irish mom is reading hto her kids in bed as water fills their compartment, its just a very sad scene that she can't save her kids so she is trying to make their death is least terrifying as it can be. if you don't cry during that your heart is a rock.

Was I supposed to? On another note, I cried like a baby when the Going Merry died (if anyone knows what I'm talking about)

hehe yeah i never got that emotional for a boat before
lol i never got emotional for a boat before

My dad took me to see Titanic when it first came out. Was a kid then, 11 or 12 if I recall, neither of use knew what the movie was about, he just knew we we're learning about the Titanic's wreck and such in school, (was the anniversary of it or some nonsense). Needless to say, I didn't learn much about the ship, nor did I cry, Dad made us leave before anything really happened. But I have watched it since, and it never made me cry.

I haven't seen Titanic, but I would probably be more upset at that marvellous piece of engineering (ok, so the design was a bit flawed) breaking up and sinking than anything else. For perspective, I get choked up if I see a car getting crushed or they are doing a documentary on that "aircraft' graveyard" on TV, and consider Isambard Kingdom Brunel to be one of the greatest people ever to walk this planet.

only out of complete and utter boredom of having to sit through over 3 hours know that in the end the ship sinks. Just once. I wish they would give an alternative ending where the ship doesn't sink, and everyone is saved by anal probing aliens.
